A few familiar titles we've covered on S&A, like Terence Nance's An Oversimplification Of Her Beauty, Sheldn Candis' LUV, Adam Leon's Gimme The Loot, Mike Brown's "HIV as a weapon" doc 25 To Life, the documentary Call me Kuchu (about Uganda’s first openly gay man and activist, David Kato, and the aftermath of his brutal murder last year) which just won the Teddy Award at Berlin for Best Documentary, and even Juan Of The Dead.

I'll return to highlight any new titles on this list that we haven't already.
